See BOARD | 3 Meigs Residents hit the polls By Julie Carr Smyth Associated Press COLUMBUS — Republican John Kasich coasted to re-election as Ohio’s governor on Tuesday by defeating Cleveland Democrat Ed FitzGerald amid early indications turnout was low across the state. Tuesday’s victory was expected after campaign missteps by FitzGerald, the Cuyahoga County executive, left him seriously behind in polls and fundraising. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, a potential 2016 presidential contender who chairs the Republican Governors Association, called Kasich’s victory “commanding” and said it meant “four more years of jobs, growth and prosperKasich ity are in store for the Buckeye State.” The RGA spent $4 million in the race. In a tweet, Kasich thanked the state, saying, “We did it! It’s only halftime, Ohio, and the best is yet to come.” FitzGerald’s troubles and the lack of a U.S. Senate race or any statewide ballot issues were among factors that kept people from the polls. The 62-year-old Kasich’s approval ratings dropped after he lost a 2011 collective-bargaining battle against public employee unions, but FitzGerald’s weakened campaign was unable to serve as an effective mouthpiece to remind voters of that and push other Democratic issues. Ultimately, Kasich’s message that he had added jobs after a punishing national recession and made efforts to rein in Ohio government spending and cut taxes won the day. There was also evidence that Kasich’s decisions to support moderate political positions such as supporting Medicaid expansion allowed under the federal health care overhaul resonated with voters. In early unofficial returns, Kasich had more than 62 percent of the vote, to 35 percent for FitzGerald and very close to 3 percent for Green Party contender Anita Rios.

Call 992.2155 BROADCAST THURSDAY, NOV. 13 Akron. At one point, more than 160 people were being monitored and three were quarantined, though officials stressed that Ohio had no Ebola cases and the people being monitored weren’t showing symptoms. Still, the connection to nurse Amber Vinson had caused public concern throughout northeast Ohio as officials tracked down those who’d been in close proximity during her Oct. 10-13 visit to Akron to prepare for her wedding and her flights to and from Cleveland. The end of health monitoring is a sign of some normalcy returning for those contacts. In the same vein, the bridal shop that closed and cleaned as a precaution after Vinson’s visit was reopening Tuesday with support from Akron’s mayor. A statement from Mayor Don Plusquellic’s office said he’d be visiting the store to show support for the owners and encourage people to continue shopping there. Vinson was diagnosed after she treated a Liberian man who died of Ebola. She was released from a hospital last week after tests showed she’s virus-free. Meanwhile, health officials are monitoring Ohioans returning from West African countries that have Ebola outbreaks. About 30 people were being monitored under those new protocols as of late last week, but none of those was quarantined, Department of Health spokeswoman Melanie Amato said Monday. The protocols call for a 21-day home quarantine for returning travelers who have been exposed to anyone potentially infected with the virus, and for health monitoring of travelers who weren’t exposed. The state said the number of people returning to Ohio from West Africa is generally low, averaging about two a day.

But the Sentinel did not give any opportunity to one of our officers to counter the misinformation it contained. There are two sides to every story, but only one side was presented in your article on Oct. 31. Our group did provide a similar forum four years ago, inviting candidates in local contested races of all political affiliations to attend. Mr. Davenport, running as the Democratic candidate for county commissioner, was among those invited. From the very beginning, this was planned as a debate format and the invitations were conveyed as such. Perhaps there was a misunderstanding on Mr. Davenport’s part, but there were no last-minute changes and, to my knowledge, all of the other candidates understood that their opponents would be present and that they would be answering questions in a debate-style format. All candidates were treated with courtesy and respect. As in any group with a diverse membership, including all political affiliations, our members are free as individuals to support candidates of their choice, file challenges, join other groups, etc. The challenge to Mr. Davenport’s candidacy was filed by private citizens based on their convictions that provisions of the Ohio Revised Code had been violated in allowing someone with longstanding ties to the local Democrat Party to file as an Independent. This challenge was not initiated by, nor endorsed by, our group, and to suggest otherwise is deliberately misleading. As in our previous voter education forum, we focused on local contested races. This year, the only local contested race was that for county commissioner, and thus those were the only candidates invited — nothing peculiar about that. If Mr. Davenport had chosen to come, he would have found our group welcoming, courteous and respectful, as we have been to all candidates, regardless of political affiliation. Our purpose is to help voters become more informed and more involved in the political process. Terri Blackwood Meigs County Tea Party secretary THEIR VIEW When elections don’t matter Nobody wants to hear that his or her vote doesn’t count. Even more disturbing is the claim that nobody’s vote counts. For radicals and reactionaries who criticize both political parties, there just isn’t enough difference between them to matter. Think of the old music video from Rage Against the Machine, which iconically morphed photos of George W. Bush and Al Gore into one another. For one of the East Coast power corridor’s smartest insiders, however, the problem is worse than that. It would be one thing if the two main political parties simply agreed on so many issues that voters had no real way to disagree. It’s another thing altogether if even politicians who disagree can’t change the government. That’s the claim Professor Michael Glennon makes in “National Security and Double Government,” his disturbing new book. The double government, says Mr. Glennon, is an administrative bureaucracy that won’t go away no matter who’s in charge — and, increasingly, makes its own decisions. Glennon should know. He’s a longtime federal consultant who once served as legal counsel to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. In an interview with the Boston Globe, Mr. Glennon warned that there’s more at stake than governmental waste, fraud and abuse. “These particular bureaucracies don’t set truck widths or determine railroad freight rates,” he said. “They make nervecenter security decisions that in a democracy can be irreversible, that can close down the marketplace of ideas, and can result in some very dire consequences.” Even in an age of public skepticism surrounding national surveillance and undeclared war, Glennon’s view threatens to make us even more uncomfortable. After all, it’s not just in the realm of national security that the administrative state has managed to put itself on “autopilot” — to quote, as Glennon does, John Kerry. The federal bureaucracy is so large and entrenched that it seems almost unthinkable that any substantial part of it should be eliminated or curtailed. Republicans have tried for decades to do just that. But, revealingly, they haven’t tried very hard. It’s much easier to “starve the beast” than to hack off its limbs. So for more than a generation, the debate between the parties has concerned the size of the budget more than the size of the government. What Americans have learned, however, is that the federal bureaucracy grows in scope, power and influence regardless of whether the budget is balanced. Even Ronald Reagan was unable to achieve even relatively token goals like shutting down the Department of Education. THEIR VIEW Governing is harder than it appears I have been working in We want to shrink the deficit or around government for without any cuts in defense more than 50 years, and if spending or entitlements.

They understand that not navigate a slow, complex, untidy all the good ideas come from one system whose transparency and accountability are always less than source, and they reject the idea of constant conflict and permanent they should be.

I used to watch Ronald Reagan and Tip O’Neill engage in tough, hardhitting dialogue over the issues of the day, but for both of them the underlying premise was that they had to reach an agreement and move ahead. They knew civility had to be the rule — and always ended by trying to top each other with a good Irish story, doing their best to leave everyone in the room in an upbeat frame of mind. Don’t get me wrong. The clash of ideas is important. In a dynamic system, with competing power centers and a panoply of interests trying to use their power to achieve their objectives, better policy — a policy that more nearly reflects the will of the American people — can emerge from this debate. Playing one side against the other, or merely stating the problem in order to rile up listeners — these are easy. Moving ahead to reach a solution: that’s the hard part. Which is why our system works so slowly. It’s unwieldy, messy and often very noisy, but most of the time, it gets there. Yet there are no guarantees. Our system is not self-perpetuating. There is no automatic pilot. The question Abraham Lincoln asked at Gettysburg 151 years ago is as fresh today as it was then: Can a nation so conceived and so dedicated long endure? We’re still finding out, but we know one thing: It will take hard work. Lee Hamilton is director of the Center on Congress at Indiana University. He was a member of the U.S. House of Representatives for 34 years. TODAY IN HISTORY... Today is Wednesday, Nov. 5, the 309th day of 2014. There are 56 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Nov. 5, 1914, Britain and France declared war against the Ottoman Empire; Britain also annexed Cyprus. On this date: In 1605, the “Gunpowder Plot” failed as Guy Fawkes was seized before he could blow up the English Parliament. In 1781, the Continental Congress elected John Hanson of Maryland its chairman, giving him the title of “President of the United States in Congress Assembled.” In 1872, suffragist Susan B. Anthony defied the law by attempting to cast a vote for President Ulysses S. Grant. (Anthony was convicted by a judge and fined $100, but she never paid the fine.) In 1912, Democrat Woodrow Wilson was elected president, defeating Progressive Party candidate Theodore Roosevelt, incumbent Republican William Howard Taft and Socialist Eugene V. Debs. In 1938, Samuel Barber’s “Adagio for Strings” and “Essay for Orchestra” made their world debuts on the NBC Blue radio network as they were performed by the NBC Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Arturo Toscanini. In 1940, President Franklin D. Roosevelt won an unprecedented third term in office as he defeated Republican challenger Wendell L. Willkie. In 1964, NASA launched Mariner 3, which was supposed to fly by Mars, but the spacecraft failed to reach its destination. Today’s Birthdays: Actor Chris Robinson is 76. Actress Elke Sommer is 74.

Director of Alumni Relations Annette Ward also serves on the Alumni Council as a non-voting member to act as a liaison between the council and the Rio Grande administration. “This will be a very active and influential group at Rio Grande. Its important that the council be made up of people the Alumni Association wants,” Ward said. “This council will be instrumental in helping Rio Grande move forward into a new era of prosperity and success.” The Alumni Council held its first meeting in September, and is schedule to meet next Nov. 5 to select its final four members. Those who wish to be considered, or recommend another, are encourage to contact the Alumni Council through the Alumni Relations Office at alumni@rio.edu. Council members serve three-year terms with the ability to serve two consecutive terms. Additional terms are permitted following a one-year hiatus. Each year the council will elect four alumni to serve. The initial class membership will be determined by lottery once the council if filled. Officer positions also will be filled upon completion of the council. Those positions will include president, decretary, treasurer and representative, who reports to the Rio Grande Board of Trustees’ Institutional Advancement Committee. The council president also will serve as president of the Alumni Association. One of the council’s first acts of business will be to establish a Student Alumni Council comprised of current Rio students. “There has never been an opportunity to engage students and alumni strategically,” Ward said. “The idea is to teach current students what it means to be an alumnus, forge mentorship opportunities and begin building those lifelong networks from the first moment a student steps onto campus.” Rio Grande’s Alumni Association formerly had an Alumni Board, which was disbanded in 2013. Trustee and current council member Mary Pierce served as the final president of the Alumni Board. “The Alumni Council will serve to build a stronger connection between the internal campus and external alumni, as well as all Rio Grande constituents,” Pierce said. “Each alumnus is an ambassador, and we need to make sure they’re equipped to share our success stories. Rio Grande is a place that changes lives and makes a difference on a global scale.” Appeals court takes on Racine Grange plans service NSA surveillance case Staff Report TDSnews@civitasmedia.com By Pete Yost Associated Press WASHINGTON — Three federal appeals court judges struggled Tuesday over whether the National Security Agency’s phone data surveillance program is an intelligence-gathering tool that makes the nation safer or an intrusive threat that endangers privacy. The judges — all appointed by Republican presidents — expressed uncertainty about where to draw the line between legal surveillance and violations of constitutional rights in the age of terrorism. Since 2006, the FBI has obtained orders from the secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court directing phone companies to produce telephone “metadata” — outgoing phone numbers dialed and numbers from incoming calls — to the government. The NSA consolidates the records into a searchable database in the hunt for terror suspects. During the hour-and-a-half hearing, Judge David Sentelle questioned whether it is an invasion of privacy if the NSA simply collects the data, stopping short of using it. Is it not an invasion “with mere col- Kasich lection?” asked Sentelle. It is not, replied Justice Department lawyer H. Thomas Byron. Arguing against the NSA program, activist attorney Larry Klayman disputed Byron, telling Judge Janice Rogers Brown that “collection is enough” to justify pursuing the lawsuit against the government. It is Klayman’s legal burden to show that he has been harmed by the program — an issue that threatens to derail his lawsuit and which clearly frustrated him during the court proceeding. The issue comes down to Klayman having to prove that his phone company was a participant in the NSA surveillance. Klayman is a Verizon Wireless customer, but the government has acknowledged only that a separate Verizon company turned over records to the government. “This is not an insignificant matter” with the “government standing over our shoulder. I can’t talk on my phone with my clients,” Klayman lamented. Isn’t the sweep of phone numbers in the program “virtually universal?” appeals judge Stephen Williams asked Byron, the Justice Department lawyer. “And if that’s the case, is it safe to assume that Verizon Wireless numbers are brought in?” term over Democratic state Rep.

The November meeting will feature a program to honor currently living World War II veterans in the community, as well as active members of the military who are Grange members. Another project will be the annual candy cane give-away in Racine. This is planned for the first Sat- urday of December from 10 a.m. to noon. Plans were made to host the Nov. 7 meeting of the Meigs County Pomona Grange. An officers’ planning meeting will be at 6 p.m. At 7 p.m., there will be an open meeting featuring Meigs County Commissioner Tim Ihle. He will be presenting information on the new proposed new Meigs County Courthouse. This will be open to the public. It will be held at the Racine Grange Hall, which is located 1.6 miles from Racine on Oak Grove Road. Several new legislative topics were discussed. The first was the recent refusal of the U.S. Supreme Court to hear the appeal of a federal case that allows gay marriage. Also, a discussion of the current Ebola disease entering this country took place. After discussion, the members passed a resolution asking that no travel from West Africa to the U.S. be allowed until Ebola is under control in Africa. Members enjoyed the annual wiener roast.

Yet he never got into the playoffs. His squads even posted back-toback 10-0 seasons in 1988 and 1989, but that was when the format was much more restrictive. Masters stepped down after the 2000 season, then got back into the game as the freshman coach at Findlay. But now he’s finally earning a trip to the playoffs and he’s doing it with his former team. When Kevin Shoup, one his former assistants at Findlay, was named Van Buren’s head coach in 2010, he took Masters with him. And, with a 20-0 win over Pandora-Gilboa, Van Buren assured itself a spot in the D6 playoffs — its first postseason berth ever. And Masters is finally in the postseason. NIGHT OF FIRSTS: Port Clinton won seven games for the first time since 1979 and qualified for the postseason for the first time ever; Wauseon defeated Metamora Evergreen 55-14 to win its league outright and to go 10-0 for the first time in 20 years; Norwalk’s 35-0 win at Willard gave the Truckers their first 10-0 regular season, as well as their first Northern Ohio League title in 38 years; John Rings became the first player at Centerburg to rush and pass for 1,000 yards in a season; Glouster Trimble broke a 34-year-old school mark for points in a season while outscoring foes 507-62; and Middletown Madison buried Dayton Northridge 79-0 to finish 5-5, winning its last five games to tie Waynesville for its first-ever Southwestern Buckeye League title. OVERACHIEVING: With a 58-15 victory over Canton Timken, Wooster Triway put the wraps on the school’s first perfect regular season. The Titans set the Wayne County area regular-season record for points (537, breaking Norwayne’s 529 in 2012) and Parker Carmichael set another mark with 64 total touchdowns (48 passing, 16 running) to eclipse Adam Wallace’s 61 total scores in 15 games for the 2011 D4 state champion Bobcats. Carmichael moved into fourth place on the all-time OHSAA career passing list with 11,157 yards. BEST FOR LAST: Piketon won its last two games to finish 5-5, but the story for the Redstreaks was Ethan Fremdner. In a 56-26 season finale win over Ross Southeastern, Fremdner had 51 carries for 461 yards and five TDs. In the last two games of his high school career, he totaled 84 carries, 608 yards and seven scores.

The moment is finally at hand. Despite the passage of 11 months, several Buckeyes say they’ve never really gotten over that 34-24 defeat in the Big Ten title game, which ended Ohio State’s school-record 24-game winning streak and its national championship hopes. “I guess it kind of made you realize that you weren’t world-beaters,” Decker said. “We hadn’t lost in a long, long time. You can kind of get comfortable winning week to week.” The 13th-ranked Buckeyes (7-1, 4-0 Big Ten, No. 16 CFP) travel to eighth-ranked Michigan State (7-1, 4-0, No. 8 CFP) for a “People for the past three Saturday night years have said we’ve just showdown at beaten up on teams that Spartan Stadium. aren’t good, and that when It’ll mark the it comes down to it we can’t first time Ohio State has played win a big game.” a nationally — Michael Bennett ranked team Defensive tackle this season — and may just be a last shot for a while for the Buckeyes to prove that they can win a big game against a quality opponent. “People for the past three years have said we’ve just beaten up on teams that aren’t good, and that when it comes down to it we can’t win a big game,” defensive tackle Michael Bennett said. “That’s the hype around Ohio State — that we don’t win big games. But it’s important to win this game because they’re a great opponent. If you want postseason dreams, you’ve got to keep winning.” Standing in the way of those dreams are the Spartans, who rode some timely defense and Connor Cook’s 304 yards and three touchdowns passing to the victory last Dec. 7 at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. The decisive moment of the game might have been when Buckeyes quarterback Braxton Miller was stopped on a fourth-and-2 keeper at the Michigan State 39 by Spartans linebacker Denicos Allen with just under 6 minutes left. The Spartans then tacked on another score to book a spot in the Rose Bowl. After the game, Ohio State coach Urban Meyer said the loss would “haunt all of us.” The Buckeyes lost their next game, also, a 40-35 setback to Clemson in the Orange Bowl. No sooner had the Buckeyes left the field after stomping Illinois 55-14 on Saturday than Meyer harkened back to the Michigan State defeat saying, “The dream was ripped away from us.” He concedes that, until proven otherwise, the Spartans are the best in the Big Ten. “They’re the king of the hill right now because they won the championship and you have to dethrone them,” Meyer said on Monday. Miller isn’t playing for the Buckeyes, replaced by J.T. Barrett in the preseason after Miller had season-ending shoulder surgery. Allen moved on to the pros and is trying to stick in the NFL. There are plenty of other new faces on both sides. There are also a lot of similarities between the teams, which have identical records, share the top spot in the Big Ten’s East Division and have each won their last six games. Ohio State’s lone loss was 35-21 at home to Virginia Tech on Sept. 6 while the Spartans lost the same day at then-No. 3 Oregon, 46-27. The winner has the inside track to a return to the Big Ten title game. The loser is eliminated from the national championship conversation. “I’ve got a bitter feeling toward (the Spartans),” Decker said. “Because they beat us. I feel like they took something from us. That’s driving me and a lot of other guys.” Ohio State fans grouse that no one respects the Big Ten or the Buckeyes and that media is biased in favor of the Southeastern Conference. But Meyer said there’s a simple way for Ohio State to again be a national contender. “(Our players) know this is a game to get the respect that Ohio State deserves and has had in the past,” he said. “You have to go compete and win this game. It’s going to be a task.” Masters Lloyd Fox | Baltimore Sun | MCT Pittsburgh Steelers’ James Harrison knocks Baltimore Ravens’ quarterback Joe Flacco to the ground in the second quarter at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Sunday, November 6, 2011. Rejuvenated Harrison thriving PITTSBURGH (AP) — The game ball sat innocently in the gold-painted locker, an oblong tribute to a career revival no one saw coming. Not even James Harrison. Two months ago, the Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker was retired, weary from more than a decade as one of the NFL’s most intimidating players. Now the 36-year-old’s unlikely renaissance has his suddenly streaking team poised to make a run. From the couch to a fixture in the Baltimore Ravens backfield in all of eight weeks. Hardly the play of a guy who’s lost a step, even if the five-time Pro Bowler is trying to downplay his re-emergence as the teeth of a pass rush that has rediscovered its inner snarling self. “As old and slow as I am, (God) is driving the bus,” Harrison said. Whoever is at the controls, the results feel awfully familiar. A half-decade removed from his prime in his first go-round in Pittsburgh, Harrison is back to “doing James Harrison-type things” as coach Mike Tomlin put it. Namely, creating havoc. A year after a quiet season in Cincinnati that seemed anticlimactic and sort of odd, Harrison is validating his decision to come back for a final go-round with the Steelers one foray across the line of scrimmage at a time. He has four sacks in his past two games, including a pair in a surprisingly easy 43-23 victory over the Ravens on Sunday night that pushed the Steelers to 6-3 heading into a trip to New York to face the struggling Jets. The player who served as a largely ineffective pass-rushing specialist with the Bengals in 2013 has multiple sacks in consecutive games for the first time since 2009, when he was one of the most dominant defensive presences in the league. an injury with 6:34 left in the third quarter, pile up 292 rushing yards on 29 carries; From Page 6 Gnadenhutten Indian Valley’s Jake Davis rushed for a title with a 42-21 win over school-record 305 yards against Dayton Chaminade Julienne.

He’s the strongest person in the league. I’ll put any type of money on that.” The proof is in Harrison’s busy Twitter and Instagram accounts. Hours after beating the Ravens, Harrison was posting video of himself lifting the equivalent of a small pickup truck. On Tuesday, he did push-ups with 303-pound Steelers center Maurkice Pouncey lounging on his back. It’s that diligent commitment to his body that has enabled Harrison to say yes when the Steelers called him in mid-September after linebackers Jarvis Jones and Ryan Shazier went down with injuries. Though Harrison had announced his retirement two weeks earlier during a brief ceremony at the team headquarters, he couldn’t resist when his phone started ringing with old friends asking if he wanted to get the gang back together for one last run. Harrison insists he did nothing “football specific” during the nine months he was away from the game. “I hadn’t really planned on playing again,” he said. “Everything I did was just working out and staying in shape because I like to work out, that’s about it.” The first few weeks were unkind. Though he won’t get specific, Harrison allows he’d put on weight during his extended offseason. He looked like a player whose best days were in the rearview mirror as the Steelers eased him back into the lineup. He was a nonfactor for a month, his No. 92 largely invisible as Pittsburgh’s defense struggled to generate any of the chaos that has ing on 50 carries for first nine games, then had 261 yards and four TDs while adding three two-point conversions in a 54-34 win over Holgate.

EVERYTHING: North Baltimore’s Lane Bishop accounted for 529 total yards and had a hand in seven TDs in a 54-20 win over Vanlue, passing for 294 yards and three scores and rushing for 235 yards on 15 carries and four more scores; and in a span of 46 seconds midway through the fourth quarter, Center- ville’s Chase Whitaker kicked a 76-yard punt, intercepted a pass and kicked a 25-yard field goal in a 19-14 upset of Huber Heights Wayne.

NO PASSING FAD: Ohio State commitment Joe Burrow completed 23 of 30 passes for 379 yards and four TDs in a rain-filled 48-22 win over Nelsonville-York, making him 135 of 180 for 2,860 yards, 42 touchdowns and just one interception on the year; long been its trademark. There was no panic. Instead Harrison quietly went about his business, working his way back into “football shape” and mentoring younger teammates such as Arthur Moats. Harrison remained confident if the Steelers could find a way to play from ahead, the menace would return. The first glimmer came against the Colts. Up 25 points in the second quarter, defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau started to get exotic with his blitz packages. The results were two Harrison sacks of Indianapolis’ Andrew Luck. “I felt like we were meshing a little better,” Harrison said. “We got a lead and when you’ve got a lead you’ve got the opportunity to pin your ears back and take off.” At the moment, Harrison is soaring. He put together perhaps his finest game this decade against the Ravens. He sacked the Ravens’ Joe Flacco in the first quarter to cut short a Baltimore drive. He was chasing down Flacco in the second quarter, forcing Flacco into an inexplicable throw to nowhere that Jason Worilds picked off and returned 30 yards to set up the second of Ben Roethlisberger’s six touchdown passes. While he left briefly with a sprained MCL in his right knee, Harrison returned to another sack in the third quarter, grabbing Flacco by the ankle to force the Ravens to punt with the game still in doubt. Though Flacco said he “can’t tell who it is out there,” his coach certainly noticed. “I thought 92 looked really good,” John Harbaugh said. So did the rest of the Pittsburgh defense. It’s not a coincidence, even as Harrison stresses plenty of work remains. And no matter how the next seven games go, this is his final go-round. “Obviously everything happens for a reason,” he said. “I guess this is the road I was supposed to take.” GAUDY NUMBERS: Oxford Talawanda’s Maurice Thomas, a Miami University commit, finished the regular season with 3,250 all-purpose yards and 36 touchdowns (218 points), rushing 284 times for 2,561 yards and 29 TDs as the Braves won their last five games to qualify for the D3 playoffs. STOUT SCHEDULING: Middletown Fenwick finished 6-4 and barely missed the D4 playoffs. But the Falcons’ four losses came against teams that were a combined 39-1 — 10-0 Kettering Alter, 10-0 Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy, 10-0 Cincinnati Mount Healthy and 9-1 Cincinnati McNicholas (whose only loss was to Alter). �SPORTS 8 Wednesday, November 5, 2014 Daily Sentinel Defenders From Page 6 Smith, Lynchburg-Clay; Aaron Pertuset, North Adams; Evan Bowman, Ohio Valley Christian; Alex Seaman, Peebles; Garrett Liff-Weiss, Piketon; Michael Gleason, Portsmouth Clay; Jay Pitts, Portsmouth West; Joey Bush, St. Joseph Catholic; Drew Dutiel, South Webster; Kyle Keaton, South Webster; Isaiah Dresbach, Southeastern; Rodney Spriggs, Valley; JJ Kramer, West Union; Hunter Williams, Westfall; Zack Jordan, Wheelersburg; Ethan McCain, Wheelersburg; Michael Green, Wheelersburg; Jacob Mallow, Zane Trace; Austin Proehl, Zane Trace; Ridge Shepherd, Zane Trace.

RHYMES WITH ORANGE 1 8 1 1 6 9 �SPORTS 10 Wednesday, November 5, 2014 Daily Sentinel Devon Still’s daughter attending Bengals game CINCINNATI (AP) — Devon Still figures it will be the most emotional game he’ll ever play. For the past five months, the Bengals defensive tackle has been immersed in helping his 4-year-old daughter Leah get through surgery and chemotherapy to fight a cancerous growth found in her abdomen. She’s feeling good enough to leave a hospital back home in Philadelphia and fly to Cincinnati for a game on Thursday night against the Cleveland Browns at Paul Brown Stadium, where she’ll get to watch her father play for the first time. “It will probably be the most special game I’m ever going to play because I know my daughter is going to be here to watch me play,” the third-year player from Penn State said. “All the money that’s been raised for the cancer research is because of her strength and because she’s fighting this disease. So it’s definitely going to be an emotional game for me.” The Bengals (5-2-1) helped Still and his daughter by excusing him from offseason activities so he could spend time with her in Philadelphia. They kept him on the practice squad to start the season even though he was hurt so that he’d keep his medical coverage. And the team helped raise money for pediatric cancer treatment and research by donating money from the sale of his No. 75 jersey to Children’s Hospital in Cincinnati. The team will present a check for more than $1 million on the field after the first quarter against the Browns (5-3). Leah Still will be part of the presentation. She’ll watch the rest of the game from one of the stadium boxes. “It’s going to be added motivation just knowing my daughter is watching me,” Still said. “I want her to be able to hear how the crowd cheers that loud whenever I make a tackle, so I’m going to go out there and do whatever I can to put a smile on her face.” It’s been an emotional week for Still, who befriended a college basketball player dying from a cancerous brain tumor. Freshman Lauren Hill scored four points in her first game for Mount St. Joseph on Sunday. Still wore Hill’s name on his eye black patches on Sunday during a 33-23 win over Jacksonville. He usually wears his daughter’s name, but got her permission to change for the one game. “She told me to go ahead and do it,” Still said. “When I got home after the game, she asked me: How did the girl who played basketball do? So she knows what’s going on, she knows they’re both fighting the same type of disease, and I’m pretty sure she’s rooting for her also.” The Bengals showed video of Hill’s first basket during the second half on Sunday, bringing tears to the eyes of several players who have either met her or accepted her layup challenge to raise money for cancer research. “I dropped to a knee because I was just in tears for a second there,” said left tackle Andrew Whitworth, who wore Hill’s No. 22 on his gloves. “I just welled up because it’s so emotional. I’m so proud of her and what she means. It was a cool thing with them showing that. It was awesome to go out there and get a win and be able to celebrate her day as well.” Now it’s Leah Still’s turn for the recognition. “I think it’s going to be amazing,” Whitworth said. “Guys will be excited about that.” Still is trying not to get too caught up in thinking about the moment, which will be the latest in a week full of emotional ones. “It is, but it’s good emotions,” Hill said. “Just being able to see Lauren live out her dream to play collegiate basketball and her not allowing this disease to slow her down — she’s definitely an inspiration. She’s shown a lot of courage and strength to go through what she’s going through. “So Thursday is definitely going to top off a good week for me.” Vikings’ Peterson avoids jail in plea agreement CONROE, Texas (AP) — Minnesota Vikings star Adrian Peterson avoided jail time on Tuesday in a plea agreement reached with prosecutors to resolve his child abuse case. Peterson pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor charge of reckless assault under the deal that Montgomery County state District Judge Kelly Case approved during a court hearing. A no contest plea isn’t an admission of guilt but is treated as such for sentencing. The All-Pro running back was indicted in September on a felony charge of injury to a child for using a wooden switch to discipline his 4-year-old son earlier this year in suburban Houston. The case revived a debate about corporal punishment, which is on the decline in the U.S. but still widely practiced in homes and schools. “I truly regret this incident. I take full responsibility for my actions,” Peterson told reporters after accepting the plea deal. “I’m just glad this is over and I can put this behind me.” While the case was pending, he was not allowed to have contact with his son. Peterson and his attorney said he is looking forward to getting back to having a relationship with the boy. “Adrian wants to get on with his life, have a relationship with his son and get back to playing football,” Peterson’s attorney, Rusty Hardin, said. Peterson has been on paid leave from the Vikings under a special exemption from the NFL commissioner to take care of his legal problems. It was not immediately clear how the plea deal would affect his playing status. “We will review the matter, including the court record, and then make a determination on his status,” NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said. “We cannot provide a timetable.” Peterson has said he never intended to harm his son and was disciplining him in the same way he had been as a child growing up in East Texas. The boy suffered cuts, marks and bruising to his thighs, back and on one of his testicles, according to court records.

Athens, OH 45701 CLEVELAND (AP) — The stage will be bigger, the lights brighter, the pressure more intense. Ready or not, the Browns are coming to prime time. One of the NFL’s biggest surprise teams during this topsy-turvy season in which record and reputation mean very little, the Browns (5-3), winners of four of their past five games, travel to Cincinnati on Thursday night for a nationally televised game against the AFC North-leading Bengals (5-2-1). At the halfway point of their schedule, the Browns have already surpassed last season’s win total and pushed themselves into the early playoff conversation. It’s time to find out if they belong. “This will be the best opponent we’ve played in a few games so it will certainly be a good measur- Your local newspaper is currently accepting information about faith organizations in our community to include in its upcoming Faith & Family section. e: Insid s ie r o t s al Personspriration of in oodwill and g For your free listing, log on to mydailysentinel.com/section/faithform and enter your organization’s information today! ing stick because Cincinnati, this year, has been probably the best team in the AFC North,” said perennial Pro Bowl tackle Joe Thomas. “So if want to win the AFC North, we’re going to have to beat Cincinnati and this is our first opportunity.” Following Sunday’s win over Tampa Bay, the Browns had minimal time to celebrate after improving to 4-1 at home. They did just enough to squeak past the Buccaneers (1-7), who helped Cleveland’s cause with costly mistakes and penalties. It wasn’t eye pleasing, and there were more than a few Cleveland fans annoyed by the struggle, but it was a win and the Browns will take it. It’s only going to get tougher for Cleveland from here, and first-year coach Mike Pettine is anxious to see how his team stacks up against a quality opponent such as the Bengals. “They’re at the top of the division right now. We know where we stand. We split with the Steelers and lost a tough one at home to Baltimore,” he said. “This is our first chance at the last division rival for us.” The Browns did not practice Monday, but Pettine said his players came to the facility to lift weights and get treatments. On Tuesday, the team will practice at night in Berea to prepare for Thursday’s 8:25 p.m. kickoff, when the nation will get a chance to evaluate whether the Browns should be taken seriously. Pettine called it a “critical” game, and the Browns are going to have to be at their best to upend the Bengals, who are 13-0-1 at Paul Brown Stadium in the regular season since 2012. An equally sobering stat for the Browns is that they’ve lost their past 17 road games inside the division, a dubious streak stretching back to 2008. But there’s an impressive resiliency about these Browns, who despite key injuries — they’re missing three Pro Bowl starters on offense — have positioned themselves to make this a memorable season. To this point, their schedule has cooperated but will get more challenging as Cleveland will play five road games and face Houston, Cincinnati and Indianapolis at home in the second half. In order to make a playoff push, the Browns need to re-establish a running game that has stalled the past three weeks without Pro Bowl center Alex Mack. Cleveland gained just 50 yards on the ground against a stout Tampa Bay front seven, and the Browns have amassed only 158 yards rushing the past three weeks. On Sunday, center Nick McDonald had a rough afternoon going against Bucs standout Gerald McCoy. Pettine believes the entire line needs to play better, but he’s been encouraged by the Browns ability to persevere. “You go in with a plan that you think you’ll be successful with and it’s rare that a game goes to plan,” he said. “And when you get off script, you have to be able to make adjustments and take what somebody else is giving you and we’ve been able to do that and find a way to win.” “That’s important to do but at the same time, we’re not going to abandon our approach. We feel over time we’ll get better up front, but we took a step backwards and we’re trying to regain that ground.” � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
